All but seven of the species are or were endemic to the island of Kauai, Hawaiian Islands; the exceptions are or were found on the islands of Niihau, Oahu, Molokai, Maui, and/or Hawaii as well as Kauai. The 23 plant species and their habitats have been variously affected or are currently threatened by 1 or more of the following: Habitat degradation by wild, feral, or domestic animals (goats, pigs, mule deer, cattle, and red jungle fowl); competition for space, light, water, and nutrients by naturalized, introduced vegetation; erosion of substrate produced by weathering or human- or animal-caused disturbance; recreational and agricultural activities; habitat loss from fires; and predation by animals (goats and rats). Due to the small number of existing individuals and their very narrow distributions, these species and most of their populations are subject to an increased likelihood of extinction and/or reduced reproductive vigor from stochastic events. This proposal. if made final, would implement the Federal protection and DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR recovery provisions provided by the Fish and Wildlife Service Act.

  • United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service Brooksville, Florida
    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE BROOKSVILLE, FLORIDA NOTICE OF RELEASE OF FORT COOPER GERMPLASM SPLITBEARD BLUESTEM SOURCE-IDENTIFIED CLASS OF NATURAL GERMPLASM The Natural Resources Conservation Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture announces the naming and release of Ft. Cooper Germplasm splitbeard bluestem (Andropogon ternarius Michx.). Ft. Cooper Germplasm splitbeard bluestem has been assigned the NRCS accession number 9060084. This accession was originally identified as pinewoods bluestem (A. arctatus Chapm.) and is classified as such in preliminary PMC research reports referenced in the preparation of this document. Ft. Cooper Germplasm has not been subjected to extensive regional adaptation or performance testing. It is being released to meet an identified need to increase the availability of native grass seed sources that have demonstrated high establishment potential and desirable growth characteristics for use in Florida natural area and rangeland plantings. Immediate demand for this release is considered to be high due to a lack of native grass seed sources in commercial production in the state. Collection Site Information: Seed of Ft. Cooper Germplasm was collected in 1995 by Sharon Pfaff and Mary Anne Gonter from a population of splitbeard bluestem in Citrus County, Florida using a Woodward flail-vac seed stripper (Ag-Renewal, Inc., Weatherford, Oklahoma) mounted on a tractor. The collection site was located on dry sandhills in the northern portion of Ft. Cooper State Park, near the city of Inverness (Section 21, Township 19S, Range 20E). The soil at the collection site was a Candler fine sand with 0 to 5 percent slope. Plants growing in association include longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.); turkey oak (Quercus laevis Walter); sand post oak [Q.

  • Response of Paspalum Vaginatum Turfgrass Grown Under Shade Conditions to Paclobutrazol and Trinexapac-Ethyl As Plant Growth Retardants (Pgrs)
    Journal of Horticultural Science & Ornamental Plants 4 (2): 134-147, 2012 ISSN 2079-2158 © IDOSI Publications, 2012 Response of Paspalum vaginatum Turfgrass Grown under Shade Conditions to Paclobutrazol and Trinexapac-Ethyl as Plant Growth Retardants (PGRs) M.M.M. Hussein, H.A. Mansour and H.A. Ashour Department of Ornamental Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Cairo University, Giza, Egypt Abstract: This study was conducted at the Experimental Nursery of the Ornamental Horticulture Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Cairo University during the two successive seasons of 2009/2010 and 2010/2011. This work aimed to investigate the response of paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum, Swartz cv. Salam) grown under different shade levels to foliar application of different concentrations of paclobutrazol and trinexapac-ethyl (TE). The turfgrass was covered with shade cloth of different light permeability levels providing shading levels of 42%, 63% and 70% of natural light. In addition, full sunlight (unshade) was used as a control. Plants grown under different shade levels treatments were sprayed monthly with either paclobutrazol (at 750 or 1500 ppm) or TE (at 200 or 400 ppm). Control plants were sprayed with tap water.It can be concluded that Paspalum vaginatum plants can be grown under shade level up to 42% with no significant reduction in growth. However, if shade level exceeds 42% (up to 70%) paclobutrazol at 1500 ppm or TE at 400 ppm can be used monthly as a foliar application to overcome the adverse effects of shade. Key words: Paspalum vaginatum Shade level Trinexapac-ethyl (TE) Paclobutrazol INTRODUCTION biosynthesis pathway [7]. Pessarakli [8] stated that TE application increases leaf tissue levels of the cytokinin Seashore paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum, Swartz) is zeatin riboside.

  • Conceptual Design Documentation
    Appendix A: Conceptual Design Documentation APPENDIX A Conceptual Design Documentation June 2019 A-1 APPENDIX A: CONCEPTUAL DESIGN DOCUMENTATION The environmental analyses in the NEPA and CEQA documents for the proposed improvements at Oceano County Airport (the Airport) are based on conceptual designs prepared to provide a realistic basis for assessing their environmental consequences. 1. Widen runway from 50 to 60 feet 2. Widen Taxiways A, A-1, A-2, A-3, and A-4 from 20 to 25 feet 3. Relocate segmented circle and wind cone 4. Installation of taxiway edge lighting 5. Installation of hold position signage 6. Installation of a new electrical vault and connections 7. Installation of a pollution control facility (wash rack) CIVIL ENGINEERING CALCULATIONS The purpose of this conceptual design effort is to identify the amount of impervious surface, grading (cut and fill) and drainage implications of the projects identified above. The conceptual design calculations detailed in the following figures indicate that Projects 1 and 2, widening the runways and taxiways would increase the total amount of impervious surface on the Airport by 32,016 square feet, or 0.73 acres; a 6.6 percent increase in the Airport’s impervious surface area. Drainage patterns would remain the same as both the runway and taxiways would continue to sheet flow from their centerlines to the edge of pavement and then into open, grassed areas. The existing drainage system is able to accommodate the modest increase in stormwater runoff that would occur, particularly as soil conditions on the Airport are conducive to infiltration. Figure A-1 shows the locations of the seven projects incorporated in the Proposed Action.

  • Limited Fruit Production in Hancornia Speciosa (Apocynaceae) and Pollination by Nocturnal and Diurnal Insects1
    BIOTROPICA 37(3): 381–388 2005 10.1111/j.1744-7429.2005.00050.x Limited Fruit Production in Hancornia speciosa (Apocynaceae) and Pollination by Nocturnal and Diurnal Insects1 Reisla O. Darrault2 and Clemens Schlindwein Departamento de Botanica,ˆ Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Av. Professor Moraes Rego,ˆ s/n, 50670-901 - Recife, PE, Brazil ABSTRACT Frequency and efficiency of pollinator visits strongly influence the reproductive success of self-incompatible plants. We investigated the breeding and pollination systems of Hancornia speciosa, a small tree that produces fleshy berries used in the Brazilian fruit industry. Observation and experiments were carried out in Northeastern Brazil. Thirty-three species of the visitor were recorded. Hawkmoths (Sphingidae), bees (Euglossini and Centridini), and butterflies (Nymphalidae and Hesperiidae) with long mouth parts were effective pollinators of H. speciosa. Access to nectar, the only reward for flower visitors, is determined by corolla tube length. Nylon threads of various diameters and dried mouth parts from a number of flower visitors were used in experiments to simulate flower visits. The number of pollen grains removed during such simulated visits showed no significant difference. Although xenogamic, H. speciosa presented a low pollen/ovule ratio (77). This might be related to the high efficiency of its pollination mechanism. Flowers of H. speciosa had 76 ovules on average. Seed set varied from 1 to 25, indicating that individual flowers received different amounts of outcross-pollen. Fruit production of hand cross-pollinated flowers increased by 90 percent when compared to natural pollination, suggesting pollinator limitation of H. speciosa. RESUMO Afrequenciaˆ e a eficienciaˆ das visitas dos polinizadores influenciam fortemente no sucesso reprodutivo de plantas auto-incompat´ıveis.
